prayer before meditation

Father, you created
me
and put me on
earth
for a purpose.
Jesus you died for
me
and called me
to complete your
work.
Holy Spirit,
you help me
carry
out the work
for
which I was
created
and called.
In your presence
and name, Father,
Son,
and Holy
Spirit,
I begin my
meditation.
May all
my thoughts
and
inspirations
have
their origin in you and
be directed
to
your greater honor
and glory.

saturday / wk 4 / ord / feb 4 quiet time
Jesus said to his disciples, "Let us go some where we an be alone and can rest a while. So they started out in a boat. Mark 6:32
Poet Carl Sandburg writes:
"We must get away now and then to experience loneliness. Only those who learn how to live with loneliness can come to know themselves and life.
"I go out alone and walk look at the trees and sky. I listen to the sounds of loneliness. I sit on a rock or a stump and say to myself:
"Who are you, Sandburg? Where have you been, anywhere are you going?''
How would I answer the final three questions? __________________________

week 321 - day 7
sunday / wk 5 / ord / feb 5 find the artichokes
Jesus went to a lonely place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35
One day, a friend visited Henri Matisse, the French artist. Noticing how filled with stress his friend seemed to be, Matisse said, "Andre, you must find the artichokes in your life." Then he led his friend to a patch of artichokes in his garden and said, "Each morning, after I have worked a while, I come here to be still and meditate. This simple ritual inspires me and gives me a new perspective toward my work"
To what extent does relax me and give me a new perspective toward my work?
At cool of day, with God I walk My garden's grateful shade; I hear his voice among the trees And I am not afraid. Anonymous ____________________________
